First Things First

This is the video of a World Science Festival presentation featuring John Schaefer, Daniel Levitin, Jamshed Bharucha, Lawrence Parsons, and Bobby McFerrin; the presentation was also the inspiration for the name of this blog.

If you don’t have time for the whole 100 minute presentation, I would still check out this extremely interesting clip demonstrating the universality of the pentatonic scale. Also, Bobby McFerrin is genius.
